Long Answer

1. During apartheid, the government forced each school in each South African city and village to teach children in their local language and dialect. This sent the message to children from different communities that they were different not only from their white oppressors but also from their neighbors. This created fighting, dissension, and fragmentation among Black communities in South Africa. (Chapter 3)

2. Under apartheid, people were classified as white somewhat arbitrarily. As a “mixed person,” if you made yourself look “more white,” you could be “promoted” to being considered a white person.
